First off, I am not changing the rules for this year, but for next year. Hence the discussion. Please re-read.
Also, I do believe we need to draw a line somewhere. Regardless of what you guys think, we are discouraging people from coming. How many people told me personnally; "Time Attack? Nah, my car is not competitive enough. I need to swap, gut, etc to make it competitive". The point with this is regardless of where we do draw the line, there will be unhappy campers. It's funny though that everyone that I've spoke to that would be affected by these rules don't mind them. They actually think it makes a whole lot of sense and would welcome the move to mod.
Here are the refined ideas I had:
Engine
- Forced induction car: No turbo replacement upgrade / Supercharger replacement upgrade
- Non-forced induction cars: No turbo kit / Supercharger kit
- Swaps: Keep the same amount of cylinders
Chassis
- Minimal gutting allowed: rear seat, front seat replacement, and some trims to accomodate rollbar.
- No aftermarket splitters / rear adjustable wing
Also, the new ruleset would also make it more lenient to have race cars running. Currently, race cars are not allowed in MOD class. Well, with this ruleset, I would be willing to accept race cars on MOD tires.
If you guys say "No to rule changes". I am willing not to move anything. But keep it mind that this means that cars like mine stay in street class. It's plated. It's got a dash. It's got street tires. It will run 57's at one point.
